One day I was driving to a business appointment and, as usual, I was planning in my mind what I was going to say. I came to a very busy crossroad where the stoplight had just turned red.
A young couple, both blind, were walking across the road. Each of them had a white cane(手杖). They were overcoming the most feared blindness. I held my breath when I noticed that the couple was not walking on the crosswalk, but was instead stepping directly into the middle of the crossroad. Without realizing the danger they were in, they were walking right into the path of the oncoming cars. I was frightened for them because I didn’t know if the other drivers understood what was happening. Then I saw a miracle unfold before my eyes. Every car in every direction came to a stop at the same time. Nobody can yelled, “Get out of the way!”
Amazed, I noticed that everyone’s attention was also fixed on the couple. Suddenly the driver to my right reacted. He yelled, “To your right.”O(jiān)ther people followed, shouting, “To your right!”Trusting their elite canes and the calls from some concerned citizens, they made it to the other side of the road. I could judge they had no idea what was really going on around them. Yet I immediately felt smiles appeared on everyone’s face. The driver to the left of me was saying, “I can’t believe it!”
I thought all of us were deeply moved by what we had just seen. Here were human beings stepping outsides themselves for a while to help other people in deed.

When I was fifteen, I announced to my English class that I was going to write my own books. Half the students sneered（冷笑）, the   nearly fell out of their chairs laughing. “Don’t be silly, only    can become writers, ” the English teacher said, “And you are getting a D this term. ” I was so    that I burst into tears.
That night I wrote a short   poem about broken dreams and mailed it to the newspaper. To my   , they published it and sent me two dollars. I was a published and   writer. I showed my teacher and fellow students. They   . “Just plain dumb luck. ” the teacher said. I tasted   and I’d sold the first thing I’d ever written. That was more than any of them had done and if it was just dumb luck, that was   with me.
During the next two years I sold dozens of   , letters, jokes and recipes. By the time I    from high school, with a C minus average, I had scrapbooks（剪貼簿） filled with my published works. I    mentioned my writing to my teachers, friends or my family again. They were dream killers and   people must choose between their friends and their dreams, they must always choose their     .
I had four children at the time, and the oldest was only four. I wrote what I felt. It   nine months, just like a pregnant woman. I mailed it without a self addressed stamped   and without making a copy of the manuscript(原稿).
A month later I received a（n）   , and a request to start working on another book. The worst year I earned two dollars.

Rocky Lyons was five years old when his mother, Kelly, was driving along the country road with him. He was asleep on the front seat of their truck, with his feet resting on her lap. As his mom drove carefully down the winding country road, she turned onto a narrow bridge. The truck hit a rock and slid off the road. She attempted to bring it back up onto the road by pressing hard on the gas pedal and turning the steering wheel to the left. But Rocky’s foot got caught between her leg and the steering wheel and she lost control of the truck.[ X.JTYJY.COM/]
The truck fell into a 20-foot ravine（峽谷）. When it hit bottom, Rocky woke up. “What happened, Mama?” he asked. “Our wheels are pointing toward the sky.”
Kelly was seriously wounded and blinded by blood. “I’ll get you out, Mama,” announced Rocky, who had surprisingly escaped injury. He climbed out from under Kelly, slid through the open window and tried to yank（用力拉）his mother out. But she didn’t move.
“Just let me sleep,” begged Kelly, who was out of consciousness. Rocky insisted, “Mom, you can’t go to sleep.”
Rocky managed to push Kelly out of the truck and told her he’d climb up to the road and stop a car to get help. Fearing that no one would be able to see her little boy in the dark, Kelly refused to let him go alone. Instead they slowly moved up to the road. The pain was so great that Kelly wanted to give up, but Rocky wouldn’t let her.
Rocky kept repeating the inspirational phrase, “I know you can, I know you can.” When they finally reached the road, Rocky broke into tears seeing his mother’s torn face clearly for the first time. Waving his arms and shouting, “Please stop!” the boy stopped a truck. His mother was sent to hospital.
It took 8 hours to rebuild Kelly’s face. She looks quite different today---“I used to have a straight long nose, thin lips and high cheekbones; now I’ve got a flat cheeks and much bigger lips”--- but she has few scars and has recovered from her injuries.
Rocky’s heroics were big news. Everyone was surprised at this little boy’s power. “It’s not like I wanted it to happen,” The boy explained. “ I just did what anyone would have done.” “If it weren’t for Rocky, I’d have died,” said his mother.

I had been playing hockey（冰球）for about 10 years. I was always the one sitting at the end of the bench, and      got into a game. I went to all the      and showed up even when it was so      that your ‘breath froze’ and when the otherplayers had decided to stay home. I felt I had      enough and thought of quitting.
I finally decided to      the news to my mom that I was leaving the team. My mom may have looked like a tiny and quiet lady but on      my words, she said, “Remember, ‘A quitter never wins and a winner never quits.’ Your mother didn’t raise      , so think about yourself in a      way and see yourself as a winner!” So I worked harder than ever at getting in better shape,      my shot（投球） accuracy and changing my      . 
Once in a match, we     our first game badly. What’s worse, one of our best players got hurt. I was sitting at my    place, at the end of the bench, when the coach came over and told me I was going      . I was nervous, excited and terrified all at the same time.
The opposing team was fast and I had to admit I was a little      .  But my mom’s words      out in my head like a church bell. Instead of being afraid, I was “pumped” and I very quickly found that all my      work was paying off.  I was as fast a skater as anyone else on the ice, and I seemed to get the     to score. The crowd went quiet.  All the time I spent on the ice when everyone had  
gone home had    me for this moment.
Won! I won!
The lesson I learned from my mom’s      has stayed with me over the years. I hear them whenever I am faced with a challenge, or whenever I      myself.
